Card Text:
Shield Blast (Instead of putting this spell into
your hand from a broken shield, you may cast it for
free.)
Banish target enemy creature that is level 4 or
less.
Bone Blades is the best removal card of the 4 level
4 cycle shield blasts, what else would we expect
from the darkness civilization on creature removal.
Bone Blades is only restricted by what level
the creature is, 4 or less and you choose which
enemy creature to banish.
Return to the Soil is the next best 4 cost removal
spell of the group; you choose an enemy creature
level 4 or less from the battle zone and place the
creature in the mana zone.
The downside
of playing this is that you are giving your opponent
a free mana boost. If
you decide to remove an evolution creature you are
giving the opponent an even bigger advantage in
mana.
Fire has Rock Bite, which banishes a creature of
3000 power or less. It
does not banish many of the low-level big power
threats like Gila Flame, Neuron, Sword Horned,
Bronze-Arm Sabertooth, Laser-Arm Drakon etc.
Rock Bite
struggles to banish enemy creatures that are
powerful for their level.
Water has Veil Vortex while not restricted by level
or power; it only returns the target creature to the
opponent’s hand. Where
the opponent can then put it into mana and play a
better card next turn or just replay it to the
battle zone next turn.
If the
creature has a great enter the battle zone effect it
can make you think twice before using Veil Vortex on
it.
Sorry Light you did not receive a level 4 shield
blast to deal with creatures like the other
civilizations.
If you play darkness this card is a must.
If you splash in darkness into your deck this
card is a great card to include over the other
civilization’s removal spells.
It deals with early game threats very well
and since it is a shield blast can be played for
free if you are lucky enough to have it in your
shields. Bone
Blades is a card I don’t usually put into mana it is
extremely valuable as a removal spell.
The only downsides for this card are that the
removal is limited to level 4 or less and it costs 4
mana so the best you can do is pay 4 mana to take
out the opponents 4 mana creature.
Still a very
solid creature removal card that has received a lot
of play and will continue to do so.
You can get 2x Bone Blades in the Triple
Strike Deck to add some foil to your spells.
